"The aerial mail seivice will In a suc
cess, of course It has come to stav."
T. ! Johnston, supellntendent of
malls at the Philadelphia postofnie, gave
this answer today to murmurs of dis
approval as the result of the irregulari
ties which oc. urred in tlie first three
d.i.vs of the aellal mall service
"It Is like ev.-r.v thing else --when it
is slartrd and isn't an Immediate suc
cess, there Is a howl. ' said Mr. Johnston
He bald It was his opinion that the
compasses of the northbound planes,
which have experienced the most ditfl
cu!t. are causing the trouble. He
voiced the opinion that this difficulty
would be speedily lemedied and that
the service would be sureij established
within a bhort time.
He pointed to the fact thai Lieutenant
Ddgeiton, piloting a New Vork-tn-Wash-ington
plane, had cut fifteen minutes
from the scheduled time on one trip as
an indication of what Is to be expected
later.
Mishaps have marred the service each
day since Its inauguration. Including the
first day, and mail has several times
been bourp late.
Thus far the Washington-bound plane
has made two successful flights In the
three days, but the northbound plane
has experienced difficulties twice in the
three trips Lieutenant George L.
Boyle, piloting the New York-bound
plane yesterday. lost his course and ar
rived here sex en hours late, after mak
ing a forced landing at Cape Charles,
Va He landed at the Philadelphia
Country Club Polo Field
His machine was wrecked when be

that of tonnage.
"We will send as many nnd us

the Navy Department has already
